If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

The Date has been set for the LIVE music and Kites (and sometimes electric RC airplanes...) at the Squaw Valley High camp.

Saturday, July 11th, 2009.

I will update this post with more details as they become available.

Generally, There is kite making, facepainting, Live music, and Kites!)Big guys, little guys and of course! (the dark-side) will be there...We normally start boarding the Tram to go to highcamp about 9:20..The event 'officially starts' about 11am and runs until 4pm.

We normally fly until 6pm or so.

Revolution Quads! will be there! (HELLO! is there any other kind of kite!?) just kidding!

LOTS of single and Dual liners as well.

Bring the kids, or just come hang-out and check out the music!BYOC (bring your own chair), or sit on the grass.

Below is a 'blurb' of what the 'past' events have been like, besides the standard, sometimes wind, sometimes not...

Last year the wind was GREAT! as I recall Perfect!

SO!.. What is the Squaw Valley event 'like'? Lets take a virtual tour!

You arrive at 'base-camp' and park at a Massive Parking lot (6000 ft) and carry your kites into a building that houses the launch/landing zone for the tram that takes us up several thousand feet, 8200, (high camp) if my memory servers correctly.

No cars, just what you can 'carry' for the day.

There are things to purchase at base camp, and high camp.Including food and drinks. You may want to bring water and PLENTY of sunblock.

There is a nice view of Lake Tahoe, the pool, hot-tub, and covered iceskating Rink.
